To be honest, it is already very good that Lu Zhenguo can achieve this step.
Their village is not rich, and supporting a college student would really drain the family's savings.
Moreover, at the end, Lu Youxi still did not forget to praise the village chief for being reasonable, and he praised the village chief so much that the smile on his face never faded.
"What's the matter?" The village chief's expression became more gentle and kind.
Lu Youxi sighed, looking embarrassed.
He looked at the village chief several times and then lowered his head, which made the village chief very excited.
Lu Youxi felt that the atmosphere was about right, so he said, "The reason why my cousin is short of money is not because the city is expensive, but because he has a girlfriend. He is afraid that his girlfriend will look down on him and that she will be unhappy, so he spent the tuition money our family gave him in advance. In front of his girlfriend and classmates, he swelled his face to pretend to be rich for the sake of face. He was unwilling to work part-time to earn money after spending all his money. Working part-time would delay his socializing and dating his girlfriend. The money our family gave was enough, but he couldn't afford to spend it like this! Uncle, you know our family's situation. It's not easy to support him as a college student. We have already given everything for him. We can give him tuition and living expenses, but we can't let him spend the family's money so recklessly! It's not easy for our family either."
Lu Youxi lowered his head and sighed, "That's why I don't agree with my family giving him money."
The village chief's face became serious, and he frowned and asked, "How did you know this?"
Lu Youxi knew it in her previous life, but until now she doesn’t know it in this life.
She said to the village chief, "I discovered it by accident when I went to the city with my family to visit my cousin. But I didn't tell my family to avoid another quarrel. You know my uncle and aunt's temper. They will make trouble even if it's unreasonable. My parents are honest people, but my grandparents are biased towards my uncle and aunt. And my cousin is a college student. If I tell my cousin's story, it will not affect the result except causing a quarrel at home. That's why I didn't tell anyone."
"But you are different, uncle. You are the village chief, you know a lot, you are reasonable, and you won't blindly favor one side. I can't let you misunderstand our family, so I told you this."
Lu Youxue's expression changed slightly.
It is true that their family went to the city to see Lu Youbang.
One was to see Lu Youbang's college life, and the other was to take the opportunity to go to a big city and see the world.
But if he remembered correctly, Lu Youxi did not go with them.
It costs money to go to the city. My parents are willing to take Lu Youxi with them, but my grandparents will definitely not agree.
The village chief didn't expect that there would be such a thing. Even though he was the village chief, it was impossible for him to know so many details about other people's families.
Lu Youxi said helplessly: "If it wasn't a last resort, I wouldn't want to deceive my family in this way."
The village chief sighed, "It's not easy for you either."
She is a very good girl. She is efficient at work, filial and good at studying.
I'm afraid he will become the second college student in their village.
I don’t know why the old man and old lady of the Lu family are so biased towards boys over girls.
Different people have different lengths of fingers, so it is inevitable that adults will favor one child and ignore another, but no one is as excessive as the two elders of the Lu family.
"Okay, I don't care about this matter. Do as you wish." The village chief sighed.
Lu Youxi breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to say to the village chief: "Someone came to my house a while ago. Can you tell me that you paid the medical expenses for me first?"
Lu Youxi lowered his head slightly and said embarrassedly: "This way I have a reason to get my father's money first, so that my second uncle won't take it away."
As for whether he would return it after coming here, Lu Youxi didn't say anything.
The village chief was speechless, thinking that Lu Youxi was really good at taking advantage of others. Seeing that he did not object to her approach, she even asked him to help deceive the elders at home.
"I want to save some money for Youxue." Lu Youxi explained pitifully but sincerely, "Because of the need to support my cousin's schooling, my family couldn't save a penny for Youxue's studies. Forget about other aspects, but we can't cope with Youxue's studies. In order to save money for his cousin, Youxue has to come back from town to eat and rush back every day at noon. In order not to delay classes, Youxue doesn't even have time to rest at noon. He has to rush back to school after eating a few mouthfuls of food. At this stage, I don't ask for anything else, at least I can let Youxue have a hot meal at school at noon, instead of rushing home in the middle of the day, regardless of the cold or hot weather."
"Take today for example. If I hadn't happened to encounter it, I would have been hit by someone." Lu Youxi said, his eyes red.
"Ah!" sighed the village chief, "Youbang is going too far."
Use the money saved by the whole family to splurge in the city.
"Okay, I promise you." The village chief finally agreed.
Only then did Lu Youxi feel completely relieved.
The reason why she spoke those words to Lu Youxue without hiding anything even though she knew the village chief was listening outside was to get the village chief's help.
With the help of the village chief, things will be much simpler and smoother.
"I guess your family should be here soon. I'll go to the door to greet them." The village chief said this and left the ward.
As soon as the village chief left, Lu Youxue went to the door and carefully confirmed that the village chief had indeed left. Then he closed the door and walked back to the bedside and asked Lu Youxi, "Sister, you have never been to the imperial capital, how do you know..."
"I said this just to make the village chief believe me." Lu Youxi did not hide anything. "I have indeed not been to the imperial capital to see it with my own eyes, but I have not wronged Lu Youbang. What I said is true. Do you believe me?"
"I believe it!" Lu Youxue said heavily without thinking. He believed whatever Lu Youxi said.
Seeing how her brother trusted her blindly without any reason, Lu Youxi couldn't help but recall that in her previous life, she seemed to have never seen Lu Youxue trust her so much.
What did she miss in her previous life!
Not long after, Lu Zhenguo and his wife came together with Lu Zhenjia and his wife, and with them came Old Mrs. Lu.
I don’t know whether the village chief had already gone back or he felt it was inappropriate to come in at this time.
Lu Youxi did not see the village chief.
"Youxi!" Liu Yusu just shouted when she was suddenly pushed away from behind.
Then a figure rushed over quickly, accompanied by the rough and loud voice of Mrs. Lu, "Youxue, how are you? Where are you injured?"
"Grandma, I'm fine. My sister saved me." Lu Youxue struggled to break free from Old Lady Lu. "My sister hurt her leg while trying to save me."
